>
>
> The Common Gull has proven to be fairly reliable over the recent week or so
> hanging out with the mostly Ring-bill Gulls in the open water in the center
> of Prospect Park Lake and also roosting on the ice nearby. It can be pretty
> difficult to pick out at times. I saw the gull along with a good cast of
> Brooklyn, Queens and Manhattan birders today from the south and west shores.
>
> Looking from the south shore, Eric Miller picked out the red legs of the
> Black-headed Gull that has also been frequenting the fresh water of Prospect
> Park Lake. Later the bird landed on the shore on the west side of the lake
> where the geese, ducks and coots keep the water open. The bird landed
> practically at the feet of 10 or so birders who were scanning for the Common
> Gull.
>
> A female Common Merganser was also seen in the open water in the lake along
> with a female Hooded Merganser and 4 Ring-necked Ducks.
